Cleopatra Haunts the Hudson [Paperback]

Sarah White (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 15, 2007

Sarah White conjures visions from language that is at once beautifully precise and beautifully evocative. Sonnets, aubades and ballades display a deft penchant for form as she creates poems that resonate with achieved feeling. She acknowledges movingly the ever-shifting demarcations of loss while claiming the life of the poetic mind as a perennial. Baron Wormser
